Add Password Message below Password on Registration page

[laural4705]

I hope I am posting this in the right location...

On the registration page to my forum the password (which is set to high) has a yellow alert triangle next to it, when you mouseover the triangle, there is a message that tells the user what must be included in the password.  I would like to have that message displayed below the password fields so that it is always available and in view for the user.  I am not sure where to add this line of text and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction... thanks!

It should be possible and should not be too difficult. For anyone who understands JS, which is clearly not my case

There is already the function that rewrites the image properties, so it should be more or less easy to take the already processed data and to stuff the text in a field somewhere.

or just add the text into register.template.php

I think there's more to it, because it needs to change dynamically when the "alt" text of the image changes
So it needs to be done in JS...

   What?

Where do you get a request for a dynamic change from the original request?

[margarett]

The text in the yellow triangle, that changes while you are entering the password (too short, don't match, is valid...)

At least, that was what I understood...

Thanks for the replies.   I had intended on putting a static statement in the register file, but I have not been able to figure out where in that file I could place the message.  I have tried a few places and have not had success.  I could see how this may need to be a dynamic solution, but in this particular case, the forum will always require the highest password, so the message can be static.

If anyone knows where in the register file I can place this static text, please let me know   Thanks!

An easy fix:

Register.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand


<span id="smf_autov_pwmain_div" style="display: none;">
<img id="smf_autov_pwmain_img" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/field_invalid.gif" alt="*" />
</span>

Add after:

Code Select Expand

<br />
<span class="smalltext" style="font-weight: bold;">Please define a strong password!</span>
